FREDERICK KLING, OF BLANDINSVILLE, ILLINOIS.

WINDOW-SASH ANTIRATTLER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 788,052, dated April25, 1905.

Application filed July 23, 1904. Serial No. 217,842.

To JZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FREDERICK KLING. a citi- Zen of the United States,residing' at Blandinsville, in the county of McDonough and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inVindow-Sash Antirattlers, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming a part hereof.

D/Iy invention has relation to improvements in window-sash antirattlers;and it consists in the novel attachment more fully set forth in thespecification and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings. Figure l is a perspective of one side of awindow-frame, showing device attached. Fig. 2 is a face view of thedevice with window sash in cross section. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectionon line 3 3 of Fig. Q. Fig. 4 is an edge view of the device, and Fig. 5is a vertical section on line 5 5 of Fig. et.

rI`he object of my invention is to provide a window-frame with anattachment which will force the sash snugly against the walls of thegrooves or ways within which the sash operates, thereby preventingrattling' of the sash and dispensing, too, with the necessity ofweatherstrips, as will be better apparent from a detailed description ofthe invention, which is as follows:

Referring' to the drawings, F represents the window-frame; 1, the stile;2, the stop-bead, and 3 the parting-bead. rIhe sash S moves up and downbetween the stiles in a groove or way formed between the beads 2 and 3.

In the present instance the bead 2 is nailed to the frame at the top andbottom, the intermediate parts being free. Approximately at the centerof the frame F, I secure a block 4, the same being provided with a nose5 overlapping the stop-bead Q. At the base of the nose and projectingfrom the inner surface thereof` is a flexed spring 6, whose free endbears against the adjacent edge of the bead 2, forcing the opposite edgeof the head against the sash, the latter being in turn forced againstthe parting-bead 3. In this way a snug joint is established between thesash-surfaces and the respective beads 2 and 3, preventing the sash fromrattling and dispensing with the necessity for weather-strips.

I may of course depart from the details here shown without in any wiseaffecting the nature or spirit of my invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim is A window-sash antirattlercomprising a block adapted to be secured to the windowframe, a nose onsaid block adapted to overlap the stop-bead of the frame, said stop-beadbeing yieldingly mounted to said frame, and a flexed spring at the baseof the nose adapted to bear withits free end against the adjacent edgeof the stop-bead and force the latter against the sash, substantially asset forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FREDERICK KLING.
